From the article

Swift's first year back with Bears head coach – and his former Lions OC – Ben Johnson was a massive success. The Bears' new lead back had the best year of his career with 1,087 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns. In fantasy terms, Swift finished the year as a top-14 running back – borderline RB1 status – in average points per game among backs with at least 10 games played. With more familiarity in Year 2 of Johnson's Bears offense for both Swift and Chicago's offensive line, the seventh-year back has a chance to push himself into true RB1 status in 2026.
